   If you run the Window's (XP and above) HELP AND SUPPORT Centre (from the   
   Start Menu), and then, within it, conduct a search, for; "command line   
   a-z", and, from in the results, pick out; COMMAND-LINE REFERENCE A-Z and   
   click on it (once up, add it to the "Help Centre's Favourites", once you   
   found it!)...   
      
   You'll find this is a fairly complete list of  tools available in XP for   
   the command-line (aka "DOS Box").  Although sometimes  wrongly called "DOS   
   Box", in NT/2K/XP/Vista/7, it's really a 32-bit application called   
   [cmd.exe] - a true "DOS Box" (Win3x/9x/Me) is actually the 16-Bit program   
   [command.com] running in a Window, and *under* Windows...
